This is a human-caused problem.

It's not as if the hogs are like, "Muahhahaha! I'm ruining the habitat!"

Maybe lethal action is the only solution, but I can still feel sympathy for the hogs. And, I'd be willing to bet absolutely EVERYTHING I own that humans have caused far more habitat destruction than hogs ever have or ever will.
